IND v SL | 3rd T20 | Rajkot | Jan 07, 2023

Cricinfo Preview

 

The series decider is expected to be played on a pitch full of runs. SL is expected to start as the favorite as it is almost full strength, while India is in the process of building its core for LOI. For India, so far 3 players have made their debut in this series - Gill, Tripathi, and Mavi.  In the 1st game, India defended the lowest score at Mumbai's Wankhede, a big feat considering the conditions at Wankhede and that India has struggled to defend off late. In the 2nd game, the key difference b/w the two teams was "no-balls". 

 

Talking about no balls, Arshdeep made a record of bowling 5 in 12 balls. He has also bowled the most no balls, 14, since 2022. Next worst is Muzarabani with 5, which Arshdeep achieved in just one game. 

 

In this game, hoping for fireworks with the bat and express pace from likes of Umran! 

 

BOL to both the teams!!

Boys will comeback strongly.

[SRT100]

Cant imagine India playing Arshdeep in the 3rd given his no ball issues. Would be a disaster in a final.

 

I would be ok if there was a few days gap and he got good net practice and played, but I sense he will panic once again.

 

Sundar should come in.

[SRT100]

Good luck guys, will be catching the game when I wake up in the morning.

 

I think India will win, really just needed to fix up that no ball issue.

 

On reflection I think Arshdeep should play if they have addressed the no ball issue and he is confident he has rectified it. It will be good preparation for the the next T20 WC.

Really don’t care about the result of this series, just glad they’re trying out new players. Stop putting pressure on youngsters like Arshdeep, Mavi etc for poor performances in useless bi laterals, let them tough it out in international t20is for a while, eventually they’ll grow into their roles

[QuarantineTormentino]

Apparently Dravid said that they won’t make any changes, I hope they get in Jitesh for Gill/Tripathi and Sundar for Chahal

Batting first means we will have to face any dew when bowling 

[Frustrated]

Hard to understand how a spinner (ass deep singh), who concedes 5 no balls per over in every game, continues to get picked everytime. Was wicketless last game as well.   Goes wicketless in every crucial game of multi nation tournaments.  

[Number]

Chahal is a cockroach. will survive anything.

[Moochad]

Kishan gone early

[Pollack]

Time is running out for Ishaan in t20s. He is very inconsistent.

[Austin 3:!6]

Rare failure for Ishan Kishan

[MK55]

Are these clowns good enough to last even 2 overs of swing??

[Chintu]

Kishan needs to learn not to play every ball.

[Austin 3:!6]

Guys why they dropped Samson just after 1 game?

[Number]

Too much swing and bounce.
